I have a laptop that ran Vista... it's dead for the most part at the moment so it's still running the Win7RC (sort of, I expect it'll expire next time it actually boots? I don't recall the timeline for fully-useless on it).
Vista gets a bad rap, it's not as bad as people made it out to be. But having said that, regardless of the specs, if you get a spare hundred bucks or so (or if you can find a student who doesn't need it, to buy it for you at the start of the school year using their .edu discount)... pull the trigger on the Win7 upgrade. You won't regret it. You expect newer OSes to be a little slower on the same hardware, but in many situations Win7 is actually on-par performance-wise with XP. It's a massive about-face from Vista.
